After about 2 years of looking I finally found a factory SS hood in perfect condition for 400 bucks (Thanks JBM!) last year. I had been waiting to get the hood to have my bumper and sail panel replaced as I did not want to keep asking my buddy who does paint work multiple times for help. Here are the before and after pictures. The whole job cost be 1300 plus 401 for the new GM sail panel. The paint is a perfect match although due to the Sun it looks off in one picture. I can tell you that it is not. It is perfect.
